Kate Middleton Always Wears These 30 Timeless Staples — & They're Under $35 On Amazon

If you personified the style “classic with a twist,” it would be Kate Middleton. The Duchess of Cambridge doesn’t push boundaries or show off the latest runway trends. She sticks to what’s stood the test of time, and has risen to become a royal fashion icon in her own right.

One perk of being a working royal is the budget, but Kate is known for masterfully mixing high and low price points like a pro. As a result, Kate’s outfits can actually be replicated fairly easily since she combines simple, timeless staples that are easy to wear on an average day. I tracked down some styles similar to Kate Middleton’s most-worn pieces, and they’re all available on Amazon for under $35.

These royal style hacks include Kate’s head-to-toe favorites. Expect everything from the prettiest blouses to crisp white tennis shoes — in fact, you’ll find that the duchess often favors everyday pieces like classic crewneck sweaters and tailored skinny jeans, choosing to elevate them with her accessories by opting for structured top-handled bags, textured gold jewelry, and pashminas. Load up on these polished basics that Kate Middleton wears on repeat, and you’ll be well on your way to style that’s just as iconic.

Hoop Earrings

1. Thick Gold Hoop Earrings That Look Vintage — With A Twist

These precious twisted rope hoops look like something you'd find in a vintage shop or your grandmother's jewelry box. They're cast from 14-karat gold-plated sterling silver, which keeps the price accessible without compromising on quality. And while, cheaper jewelry is not always well-made, these are an exception."These earrings are soooo substantial! Not heavy per say, they just feel real because of the weight," one reviewer remarked. Just keep these away from water, perfume, and hair products for a long and happy life together.

• Available sizes: 25 millimeters
• Available colors: 3

2. These Chunky Hoops With 25,000 Five-Star Ratings

Reviewers are raving that these hollow chunky hoops look like real gold, which is a bargain considering they’ll only run you $14. They’re set on hypoallergenic stainless steel posts and feel extremely lightweight despite the thicker design. "I wear them all the time and they never get discolored or hurt my ears," one shopper confirmed. They also come in rose gold and white gold, which are available in four nesting sizes depending on how big you want to go.

• Available sizes: 20 — 50 millimeters
• Available colors: 3

Pleated Skirts

3. This Elegant Pleated Midi Skirt In Saturated Shades

A pleated skirt in liquid chiffon is striking yet refined. Take this Kate Kasin skirt, for instance. The fluid lines and high elastic waistband are equal parts comfortable and graceful — not to mention, it comes in 48 different colorways to complement your coloring. You'll wear it constantly, too, as fans noted it worked for every season depending on how you styled it. " It's one of the most worn items in my closet, from winter time with sweaters to spring with beautiful blouses," one reviewer revealed. All you need now is a matching colored blazer or turtleneck to get Kate’s full look.

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 48

Bow Blouses

4. A Sophisticated Pussy-Bow Blouse That’s So Chic At Work

How posh is this blouse? It's made from chiffon a vintage-inspired pussy bow at the collar, and is double-lined through the body for total opacity. The hem looks finished worn untucked, but it’s light enough to slip into a pencil skirt or even some jeans. "I like to get dressed quickly and these are great for throwing on with a skirt and running off to work," one reviewer remarked. Add a sharp blazer and you're ready for business!

• Available sizes: X-Small — 3X-Large
• Available colors: 44

5. A Sheer Tie-Neck Blouse For Day To Night

Wear it with a camisole to run your next meeting or layered over a contrasting bra for a night out. Available in five great colorways, this sheer bow blouse comes in a chiffon-like material that feels fabulous against the skin. The only downside is you won't be able to wear it upon arrival: Reviewers mentioned that it arrives pretty wrinkled, but that can easily be fixed with a quick steam or tumble dry. “I could not stop smiling at the fit of the blouse and how it looked on me, this will be a great addition to my professional wear or casual with some jeans and heels,” one fan wrote. If you're uncomfortable with your bra showing a bit, then slip a camisole underneath for a tad more coverage.

• Available sizes: 16 Plus — 24 Plus
• Available colors: 6

Fair Isle Sweaters

6. This Cuddly Crewneck In A Warm Cocoa Brown

Doesn’t this crewneck sweater make you want to cuddle in front of the fire with a good strong cuppa? Its touchably soft knit comes in a variety of hues, including this sumptuous chestnut brown that looks amazing with khakis or cargos. Oh, and it’s machine-washable, too. One shopper wrote of the sweater: “It is soft, comfortable, thick, warm, stretchy, beautiful and looks expensive.”

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 11

7. And The Same Fair Isle Sweater In A Kate-Approved Colorway

If you weren’t swayed by the chestnut brown, how about this gorgeous ivory sweater? It looks best paired with denim thanks to the blue Fair Isle pattern. On truly cold days, layer the cotton-blend sweater with a white button-down shirt as Middleton did last spring in Scotland. “Soft & thick, can be layered or worn on its own, dressed up or casual,” one shopper remarked, calling it “great for daily wear.”

• Available sizes: X-Small—XX-Large
• Available colors: 11

Dainty Charm Necklaces

8. This Wearable, Minimalist Take On The Charm Necklace

This dainty necklace channels Kate Middleton’s favorite jewelry in a modern layered set. Crafted from 14-karat gold plated brass, the pair comes with a 15-inch choker and a 17-inch disc pendant. Wear them separately or together for an everyday finishing touch. Shoppers raved that the price was low but the quality was high, and would neither turn your skin green nor tarnish in the near future. “I bought this in Dec. and it is now the end of April this necklace is still shiny, zero tarnish, and is stick intact. I have VERY sensitive skin and I've worn this to bed and showered with it on and had no reaction to it. It is dainty but I have snagged it pretty hard (being clumsy) a couple of times and it hasn't snapped,” one fan remarked.

• Available sizes: One size
• Available colors: 25

White Canvas Sneakers

10. The Crisp White Tennis Shoes You’ll Wear To Pieces

Made from sturdy canvas with an anti-slip vulcanized rubber sole, these adorable white sneakers are a go-to for daytime rendezvous or running errands. They might be light and airy on the feet, but there’s an anti-collision toe cap for protection while out and about. Pair them with a thicker sock during the colder months and floral dresses in the summertime — then just pop ‘em in the wash when they start showing dirt. “These are my new go-to casual shoes, and I'm literally wearing them every day,” a fan gushed.

• Available sizes: 5 — 11

Stripes

11. A Top-Rated Crewneck Sweater That’s Bougie On A Budget

Department store quality on the cheap is what you get when you purchase this crewneck sweater by Amazon Essentials. Multiple reviewers compared it favorably to J.Crew, and the sweater has racked up more than 10,000 ratings from shoppers for being cozy, classic, and light as a feather. This one has black-and-white horizontal stripes, but you really can’t go wrong with any of the available colors or prints. “I'm a classics lady, and this sweater is perfect,” a shopper declared. “The colors are rich and deep and you can't beat the price. Pay a lot more if labels matter to you, but you are missing a deal.”

• Available sizes: 3X-Small Slim — XX-Large
• Available colors: 39

12. This Essential Tee With Elbow Patches & A High Low Hemline

The French-girl style staple gets a sensible update thanks to Milumia’s designers. This interpretation of the iconic striped tee has a high-low hemline, so you can swap out the cigarette pants for leggings if you want. Moreover: Contrasting elbow patches solve the problem of worn-out and faded sleeves, meaning this shirt was built to last. “I couldn’t love this shirt more. It is made of a stretchy material. Easy to wash, dry, and iron if needed. Super cute with a vest and jeans,” one shopper noted.

• Available sizes: X-Small — 3X-Large
• Available colors: 13

Skinny Jeans

13. These Fan-Favorite Skinny Jeans In A Dozen Vintage Washes

It’s hard to find denim that fits — everywhere. These skinny jeans, however, solve that problem without a belt as they adapt to your shape like a second skin. Not only that, but the mid-rise waistband is also surprisingly comfortable. “Buying pants is always difficult for me,” one shopper confessed, raving, “These are made of denim, magic, and sorcery.” The pair comes in a dozen worn-in washes, with eco-friendly options for the conscious consumer that reduce water waste.

Cut from a blend of cotton, rayon, polyester, and spandex, you’ll find that these have stretch and hold like leggings you’ll never want to take off. Plus, the thick pull-on waistband won’t dig into your skin. “If it's possible to fall in love with a pair of jeans, then these are my SOUL-MATE,” one jeans-averse reviewer gushed. “These are SO comfortable that I wear them around the house in place of my old exercise pants...I never knew jeans could feel so amazing and look so good. Best pair ever.” Better still, they’re available in petite, regular, and long inseams.

Slim Leather Belts

15. An Affordable Genuine Leather Belt

Two leather belts for $16? Correct: This is not a drill. These belts are as classic as they come in genuine leather with a small elegant buckle that doesn’t add bulk. If you need to adjust the fit, your purchase comes with a free leather hole punch so you can achieve a custom size. “This belt exceeded my expectations on all fronts. It has a classic look that goes with everything,” one reviewer noted, adding, “The substantial leather is good quality and soft enough to lay flat.” Get this staple in rich, universally wearable colors including rich navy and red.

16. A High-Quality Belt Made From Italian Calfskin Genuine Leather

Originally designed for men, this luxury leather belt is too good of a deal to pass up.

It’s available it two widths, as well, so you can pick the one that’s best for you. The muted brass belt buckle is heavy and strong — if there isn't a belt hole that fits, however, you can either bring it to a leather specialist in your town, or spring for a $10 leather hole punch if you want a DIY solution that’ll give you loads of use for years to come.

• Available waist sizes: 32 — 54
• Available colors: 14

Fitted Turtlenecks

Here's why: Unlike your typical long-sleeved turtleneck, this versatile one-piece won't bunch up on your waist throughout the day. Made from a soft modal and spandex blend, the fabric is exceptionally stretchy and will lay perfectly smooth. Another feature worth mentioning is the handy-dandy snap crotch, which is a big win when you’re headed to the restroom, a waxing appointment, or anything else. Consider stocking up on a few colors — you have more than two dozen to choose from.

Constructed from a pajama-like knit, this lightweight turtleneck is the layering piece you need for everyday breathable coziness. The tissue-weight rayon and spandex blend feels like butter against the skin without being thin. What's unique about this turtleneck is that it's body-hugging rather than restrictive — and shoppers are loving it, awarding the top more than 11,000 overall ratings. “I buy a lot of clothes on Amazon. This top is one of the best. The material is so soft and comfortable. It is thinner material similar to a stretchy t-shirt,” one reviewer commented, noting it was “form fitting without being too tight or too short.”

Classic Sunglasses

The polarized lenses reduce glare, and reviewers noted they were both plenty dark.

White Tops For Layering

21. The Marshmallow-Soft Crewneck Tee That’s A Treat To Layer

This lightweight long-sleeved T-shirt is a staple you don’t want missing from your closet.

The body-hugging fit is perfectly tailored through the shoulders and chest for a freshly-tucked look right out of the dryer. “Literally the most comfortable, perfectly fitting, bodysuit I’ve ever owned,” one reviewer was thrilled to report. A staple if there ever was one.

Structured Top-Handle Bags

23. A Sharp-AF Satchel That’ll Get Mistaken For Designer

Excuse me, is that Balenciaga or Givenchy — on Amazon? No, but it's a close second: This sculptural satchel bag will only cost you $23, and it’s crafted from eco-friendly vegan leather that looks real as can be. Not to mention, it's an ideal compact size that still leaves enough room for a few extras. You can fit your phone, wallet, keys, and some makeup without lugging around a giant bucket bag. You can even wear it two different ways: Carrying it by the top handle is suitable for dressier occasions while adding the removable crossbody strap makes it practical for daytime.

• Available colors: 2

24. A Chic Dome Bag That Feels So Expensive

The only downside of showing you another great bag is forcing you to decide between this precious dome satchel or the sleek handbag above. It's made from faux saffiano leather with gold-toned hardware and even has purse feet to prevent stains, so you can set it down anywhere. Shoppers were raving in their reviews, consistently mentioning how it exceeded their expectations. “I love this bag. It is the perfect size for me. It's durable, the zippers are great quality and the lining is so pretty. I got the simple black color and it looks way more expensive than it is,” one praised. You'll get tons of compliments no matter which of more than two dozen shades you decide on.
